World Trade Magazine Focuses on ETO Manufacturing

ETO Manufacturing Focus in World Trade Magazine 

World Trade Magazine features Cutler’s latest article “Engineer-to-Order Manufacturers Find Little Global Competition” which can be found at (www.trcutlerinc.com).   According to the article, “ETO (Engineer-to-Order) manufacturing cannot be outsourced. The unique one-of-a-kind products manufactured are produced and completed in the customer’s site and are modified as an engineered work-in-progress. It is this specific geographic requirement that provides these manufacturers a global competitive advantage.

The term engineer-to-order (ETO) denotes a style of manufacturing rather than a specific industry segment. Other synonymous terms are “project-based” or “custom” manufacturers. ETO companies typically have distinct characteristics about the way they conduct business that differentiate them from discrete or repetitive manufacturers.” 

Thomas R. Cutler author of the feature article founded the Manufacturing Media Consortium in 1999, which has grown the participation from 300 journalists to more than two thousand key clients, journalists, editors, trendsetters, and key business leaders worldwide.  Cutler has authored more than 1000 articles for a wide range of manufacturing periodicals, industrial publications, and business journals including most of the leading monthly trade publications.  Cutler is the author of The Manufacturers’ Public Relations and Media Guide.  Cutler was voted #1 Manufacturing Journalist for the third year in a row.
